Facebook URLQuick synopsis
- Ron Paul, my focus during this event, was tired, slow to articulate his points, and easily overwhelmed by aggressive partisans.
- McCain appeared to withdraw his insistence on amnesty, and then spent excess time interrupting other candidates who were differentiating themselves from his former positions in defense of what he had apologized for.
- Romney was effective at articulating his technical perspectives on issues (medical care, immigration) but clearly will not deviate from the Bush doctrines of war.
- Thompson was reserved and came across as a fat cat at times. He smirked at Ron Paul several times.
- Giuliani was about the same as he has always been. He smirked and laughed mirthlessly at Ron Paul several times.
- John McCain was especially demeaning to Ron Paul during discussion of war.
- Smirking and chuckling was prevalent when Ron Paul was talking about the Federal Reserve and inflation.
Illegal Immigration
This is my main reason for posting this thread.
- It became abundantly clear that no one on the stage would deal with illegal immigration adequately. PC rules the day. we are not being heard yet.
- Ron Paul lost an incredible chance to demonstrate his resolve on this issue, but he came close by emphasizing welfare.
- The other GOP members are weak-kneed and left themselves with massive openings for abandoning their commitments to deal with immigration.
- Huckabee talked about building a fence, and sounded like he's been listening to Gilchrist; his credibility is very low in my opinion.
- The American people have NOT communicated their anger effectively with these people.
Ron Paul's demeanor
This was a fair debate with an open format.
- Rushed, combative, on the defensive in many cases.
- Unable to keep up with cross-talk and interruptions.
- Should have worn a red tie, I'm hearing.
Ron Paul's victory
- He kept his temper when badly mistreated not by ABC, but by the other participants.
- He kept his humor, and joked several times.
- He did articulate the threat of inflation/monetary-abuse.
- He did talk about civil liberties and preemptive war.
- He did talk about free enterprise and the Constitution.
- He is the only candidate truly planning on implementing change.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money ." --- Josiah Stamp
